I don't see how putting a guy at guard is going to help him improve his pass blocking at tackle.
I mean, maybe he'll get good enough at pass blocking if they don't think he's good enough now...
But franchise worthy LT? I have to think through that.
Totally different blocking inside vs. being at tackle. If I had plans on him being my franshise LT, I'd want to start him at RT so he could at least be used to playing tackle in the NFL.
I don't see how playing him at guard is going to make him a better LT in the long run. He's not going to be practicing the things that make a good LT.
